| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT The aim of the research is to evaluate the effectiveness of humanitarian INGOs in delivering relief and implementing the relief-to-development approach in complex political emergencies by using the case of Operation Lifeline Sudan from 1994 to 2004. Modern complex emergencies have wrought change to the manner in which INGOs approach CPEs and the nature of the functions they perform. Their involvement has grown in both duration and breadth of activity, and their ideology is moving away from traditional humanitarian principles. This is clear from INGOs accepting the relief-to-development approach. This approach is based on the notion that integrating development and rehabilitation activities into the relief mandate will ameliorate the root causes of violence and contribute to the peace-building process. However, the ability of INGOs to foster development and create self-sufficiency within the context of CPEs is disputed, as the local context may not be conducive to development and rehabilitation. Furthermore, the various weaknesses and problems associated with humanitarian INGOs calls into question their ability to implement this continuum. | en_US |
